Causes all the Wars.

"Casus Bell has been the cause Of more
wars than all the other foreigners in this
country put together" said the driver Of Il
Blue Island avenue car as he lcauSd heavily
upon his brake. ''Who brought on the
Revolution? CaSus Bclli. Who started
the war Of 1912? Same cuSs. Who was il

Caihoun's Statue in Position.

At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning q hall
dozen workmen began to turn the wind.
lass OF the huge derrick OF Marion
square, and the colossal bronze statue OF
John q. Calhoun, which was to crown
the work and realize the dream of thirty
five years, slowly rose from the ground.
The work was delayed until that hour in
order to allow some of the members of
tho committee TO be present. Six stout
cables had been passed around the bot
tom OF tho chair and made fast to the
figure, which was thus nicely balanced.
The head was still well covered with
thick folds of canvass, tightly bound.
Guy ropes leading in different dircc-
tons were held each by n workman, thus
enabling them to regulate any circular
or lateral motion, and at the same time
to place the statue i'll the position it was
to occupy on the pedestal.
1t did not take long to hoist it to the
top of the pedestal, and there it was
allowed to remain. 1t was more SUCCESS
tive than ever of the idea of an eXecu-
ton, until tho men ut the end of the
guy ropes had been placed in the proper
positions. Then the boom of the der
rick slowly moved around, swinging the
statue directly oven the pedestal where
1t was to rest. At ten minutes past IL
the statue of John G. Calhoun rested on
its pedestal, thirty five years after the
corner stone OF the monument had been
laid.
The figure faces the south, the back
OF the chair being to the north. Stand
ing on the ground can hardly form
an accurate idea of its dimensions or
height, but those who who saw the work.
men on the scatfolding near it yesterday
could easily judge of its szc-the men
looked like the most diminutive of
dwarfs.
There remain now only the four his
torical figures and the ornaments to the
panels to complete the monument. Mr..
Nlett, the contractor, who did the granite
work, is to be praised as well as CON
graduated for the successful consumma-
ton of his contract. 1t is admitted to
be an admirable piece of work, and it is
somewhat strange that not Il single stone
was spoiled IN the cutting. The work
has taken considerably more time than
it was expected, but there were unavoid-
able Interruptions and moreover it has
been splcndidly done. When the Cal
houn monument is completed there will
be few handsomcr works of art to
be seen in the United Statcs.-Ncws and
Courier.

Important Decision.

An important decision was filed in tho
Supreme Court this morning by Judge
Simpson. 1t changes the Jurisdiction OF
Trial Justices in cases of petit larceny.
Heretofore Trial Justices and the Court OF
General Sessions each claimed TO have iuris.
diction to try cases of petit larceny. Tho
sentence for the offence in Trial justices
courts was limited to 80 daysin Jail or a fine
of 800; whereas, if the prisoner was tried
in the General Sessions for the same offence,
he could DC sentenced to the pcnitentiary
for a term Of years.
The point was raised in the Circuit Court
in the case of the State cS. Robert Jinkins,
Judge Aldrich ruling that Trial Justices
have jurisdiction. The defendant appealed
and the Supreme Court decided that only
the Court of General Sessions has the right
to try n case Of petit larceny. The credit
OF reversing this decision of the Circuit
Court is due TO Mr.. II. G.. Patton, Il rising
young lawyer, of this city, who was salts.
fed that The defendant was unlawfully con.
vicicl and without pay or reward carried
his case to the Supreme Court.

Age Cannot Compete with Youth.

An interesting incident comes from Scott
county, Indiana. MIR. McDcrmott, a wild
over, fell in love with a beautiful young
girl, and courted her with a zeal which
only true affection knows. Mr.. McDcr.
mott has the misfortune to have n son. but
the son very considerably did not object to
the fair young lady whom his father was
trying TO make his ~step-mothcr. In fact,
the young man called on the young lady
and made her feel that she would be wei
come as a member OF the family. This all
pleased the father, of course, and in II burst
of parental affection he told his son that he
and the young lady were engaged. Then
the son went over to congratulate the young
lady. He did it aifcctionatcly-so very af,
fectionately that he proposed and was ac-
copied. An clOpcmcnt followG cd, and the
fond father has now a daughtcr-in-law and
the son has no Stcp-mothcr. Age should
never compete with youth in contests where
Cupid awards the prizes.
